Impending Judgment on the Earth
24 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
2 And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the (A)priest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
(B)As with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.

5 “Woe to Assyria, (A)the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 I will send him against (B)an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will (C)give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Isaiah 9:14-17
New King James Version
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush (A)in one day.
15 The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For (B)the leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord (C)will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks [a]folly.
(D)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
